This caused a moderate - classified as R2 on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's space weather scale - radio blackout that has since subsided. Radio blackouts occur when the X-rays or extreme UV light from a flare disturb the layer of Earth's atmosphere known as the ionosphere, through which radio waves travel. The const ... read more |
